EDITOR'S NOTEThe story has been corrected to say that State Patrol spokesman Russ Winger said a car appeared to make an unsafe pass on state Highway 104 just before the motorcycle wreck. The story erroneously cited Winger as saying the pass was apparently legal. He said that it was in an area where passing is legal, but may have been done improperly.
